[Verse 1]
Bm A Gb Bm        A         Bm
       Achilles, Achilles, Achilles,
     A
come down
            Bm
Won’t you get up off,
A              Bm   A
get up off the roof?
         Bm             A
You’re scaring us and all of us,
G          A
some of us love you
 Bm
Achilles,
           A                  Bm   A
it’s not much but there’s proof
    Bm         A
You crazyassed cosmonaut,
  Bm          A
remember your virtue
  Bm            A          Bm   A
Redemption lies plainly in truth
     Bm          A         G
Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles,
     A
come down
            Bm
Won’t you get up off,
A              Bm   A
get up off the roof?

[Sample]
Bm
Je vois que beaucoup de gens meurent
Bm/A
Parce qu'ils estiment que la vie ne
Bm
Vaut pas la peine d'être vécue
A
J'en vois d'autres,
            Gb
qui se font paradoxalement tués pour des idées
Bm
Pour des illusions,
qui leurs donnent une raison de vivre
Bm/A
Ce, qu'on appelle une raison de vivre est
Bm                      A                 Gb
En même temps une excellente raison de mourir

[Verse 2]
 Bm        A         Bm            A
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
            Bm
Won’t you get up off,
A              Bm   A
get up off the roof?
    Bm             A
The self is not so weightless,
    G           A
nor whole and unbroken
  Bm         A
Remember the pact of our youth
Bm A      Bm            A
    Where you go, I’m going,
   Bm             A
so jump and I’m jumping
      Bm          A          Bm A
Since there is no me without you
Bm           A         G
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles,
     A
come down
            Bm
Won’t you get up off,
A              Bm   A
get up off the roof?

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm         A              Bm         A
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
    Bm             A          G      A
But love the sweet air of the votives
Bm       A                  Bm      A
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
  Bm            A         G
Engage with the pain as a motive

[Chorus]
  Gm      D         G
Today, of all days, see
Gb           G               A     D
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Gb           G                 A     D
How you will heal and you’ll rise above

[Sample]
Bm
D'un gérant d'immeuble qui s'était tué on
Bm/A
Disait un jour qu'il avait perdu sa fille depuis cinq ans
Bm
Qu'il avait beaucoup changé depuis
A                        Gb
Et que cette histoire l'avait

[Verse 3]
 Bm        A         Bm            A
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now
        Bm        A          Bm  A
You are absent of cause or excuse
Bm       A           G       A
So selfindulgent and selfreferential
   Bm             A
No audience could ever want you
Bm
A    Bm          A          Bm         A
 You crave the applause yet hate the attention
     Bm            A
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
Bm A      Bm      A
    It is empty, Achilles,
   G          A
so end it all now
       Bm          A            Bm A
It's a pointless resistance for you

[Sample]
Bm                             Bm/A
Ce qui déclenche la crise est presque toujours
incontrôlable
                Bm
Les journaux parlent souvent de
                      A
"Chagrins intimes" ou de "maladie incurable"
                 Gb   Bm
Ces explications sont valables
                           Bm/A
Mais il faudrait savoir si le  jour même un ami du
désespéré
Bm                         A
Ne lui a pas parlé sur un ton indifférent
                Gb
Celui‑là est le

[Verse 4]
 Bm        A
Achilles, Achilles,
     Bm           A
just put down the bottle
        Bm        A                  Bm A
Don’t listen to what you’ve consumed
       Bm
It’s chaos,
   A          G        A
confusion and wholly unworthy
   Bm                 A
Of feeding and it’s wholly untrue
Bm
A    Bm          A             Bm          A
 You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
       Bm          A
It’s all just conjecture and gloom
Bm A          Bm         A
    And there may not be meaning,
   G            A
so find one and seize it
   Bm            A            Bm  A
Do not waste yourself on this roof

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm         A          Bm          A
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Bm       A         G     A
Chiming away for a moment
Bm        A             Bm        A
Feel your breath course frankly below
    Bm            A        G
And see life as a worthy opponent

[Chorus]
  Gm      D         G
Today, of all days, see
Gb           G         A           D
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Gb           G                 A     D
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Gb            G        A          D
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Gb                 G          A   D
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome

[Sample]
Les souvenirs d'une patrie perdue
                  Bm
l'espoir d'une terre promise
Ce divorce entre l'homme de sa vie

[Bridge]
    D
You want the acclaim,
the mother of mothers
       Bm
More poignant than fame or the taste of another
       D
But be real and just jump,
you dense motherfucker
         Bm
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
    D
You want my opinion,
my opinion you’ve got
    Bm
You asked for my counsel,
I gave you my thoughts
   D
Be done with this now and jump off the roof
        Bm
Can you hear me,
                           D
Achilles? I’m talking to you
             Bm
I’m talking  to you
             G
I’m talking to you
             Gb
I’m talking  to you
               G
Achilles, come down
Achilles, come down
D G D

Bm
Celle du oui et celle du non
Bm/A
Ce  serait trop beau
     Bm                      A
Mais il faut fare la part de ceux qui,
                    Gb     Bm
Sans conclure, interrogent toujours
Ici,
                   Bm/A
j'ironise à peine :   il s'agit de la majorité
   Bm
Je vois également que ceux qui répondent
    A
Non agissent comme s'ils pensaient oui
   Gb
De fait

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm        A      Bm       A
Throw yourself into the unknown
     Bm         A      G    A
With pace and a fury defiant
Bm         A       Bm       A
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
    Bm            A          G
And see life as a means to a triumph

[Chorus]
  Gm      D         G
Today, of all days, see

How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Gb            G        A        D Gb
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
                   G          A   D
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome
